Where London works
(Click for legibility)
Courtesy of Focus on London, again, plus a little light data mining, a breakdown of employment by borough.
That the City and Westminster lead is not a huge surprise, but I do not think I would have guessed all of Camden (Holborn / Covent Garden), Tower Hamlets (Docklands), Hillingdon (Heathrow), Islington (City borders) , Southwark (South Bank). Sweet home Croydonia comes in at eighth, courtesy of my own ward of Fairfield.
At the other end of the scale, there are just 45,081 jobs in Barking & Dagenham, compared to 561603 in Westminster. However, the ward with the fewest jobs is Fieldway in Croydon - 524. There are 185430 in St James....
Time for one more gratuitous map:
Red - 250000+ employees
Orange - 100,000-250,000
Yellow - 70,000-99,999
Pale yellow - less than 69,999

Funny place is Croydon. I once had a girl friend there but she then decided to go on the game - in Reading. Presumably the rewards were better there.
That says it all.
